Abstract: An echogenic medical device such as a stent for insertion into a biological tissue or vessel comprising an elongate tube and having at least one lumen extending substantially along a longitudinal axis. The elongate tube compris es a material having an acoustic impedance different from the acoustic impedanc e of the biological tissue or vessel of a patient body such that ultrasonic imaging of the tube inside the patient~s body may be achieved. The elongate tube may comprise a plastic material such as polyethylene or any formable, pliable material which may be molded and/or extruded to a variety of shapes depending upon a specific application. The invention improves ultrasonic imaging by entrapping air in a lumen of the stent, which may have any cross- sectional shape and which may be sealed anywhere along the longitudinal axis . The stent may include curled ends for positioning the stent in a body vessel , a plurality of holes for draining fluid in a body tissue, and additional lum en to entrap air and to further enhance ultrasonic imaging of the stent. The coils of the curled ends may also be tightly spaced together to provide ultrasound reflection. In another aspect of the invention, a material such a s a foaming agent may be added during the extrusion process to cause the formation of CO2 gas to form in the material as it is being extruded. In yet another aspect of the invention, a mesh stent may be used to advantage eithe r by modifying the individual elements to be more echogenic or by adjusting th e braid configuration to be more reflective.

Title: Method and system for identifying degradation of a media service
Inventor: CHEN MICHAEL
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2005-10-31
Abstract: A method and device for identifying degradation in service quality for a wireless media service. The wireless media service has a known expected packet generation rate, which may be determined by the device based upon the codec and payload size selected on initiating the media service. At a receiving device, the packets actually received by the device from the other termination point are counted over a time period, and this number is compared with the number of packets that were expected based upon the known packet generation rate. From this comparison a packet loss ra te may be determined. If the packet loss rate exceeds a threshold level, then the device may issue a user alert, terminate the service, or take other action. The thresho ld level may be established based upon a packet loss rate corresponding to a significant degree of service quality degradation.

Title: Combination descender, pulley and force limiting rope brake
Inventor: MAUTHNER KIRK M
IPC: A62B1/10
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: A combination descender, pulley, and force limiting rope brake for rope rescue has a supporting plate having a one-way pulley sheave rotatably mounted thereto for free-wheeling rotation of the sheave in only a first rotational direction. A  fixed brake member is mounted rigidly to the supporting plate. A movable brake member is pivotally mounted to the supporting plate. A pinching opening is defined by the gap. The rope passes in a first direction through the gap when the sheave is free-wheeling in the first rotational direction. The movable brake member translates relative to the fixed brake member in cooperation with rotation of the sheave. Rotation-under-load of the sheave in an opposite rotational direction urges translation of the movable brake member-towards the fixed brake member from an open position, wherein the pinching opening is open sufficiently to allow the rope to freely pass therethrough, to a closed position wherein the movable brake member closes the pinching opening so as to frictionally pinch the rope at a preset minimum opening of the pinching opening.
